On the Moon, the acceleration due to the effect of gravity is only about 1/6 of that on Earth. An astronaut whose weight on Eart

h is 570 N travels to the lunar surface.
(a) What is his weight as measured on the Moon? (in Newtons)
(b) What is his mass on the Moon (in kg)?

A = 94.22 Newtons

b = 58.16 kg

Gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s^2

A 50.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and the

Dimas [21]

Answer:

98N and 147N

Explanation:

We have the following information:

$m=50kg\\\mu_s =0.4\\\mu_k = 0.2\\F=140N$

We can find the static fricton force as follow,

$F=\mu_s * N$

Where N is the normal force (mg)

$F=0.3*50*9.8\\F=147N$

Static friction force at 147N is greater than the force applied hence body does not move.

$F=\mu_k N = 0.2*50*9.8= 98N$

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the

joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

$t = 10 ms = 0.010 s$

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

$d = 20 cm = 0.20 m$

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2$

$0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a$

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

now as we know that

$g = 10 m/s^2$

so we have

$a = 400g$

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon
